"Michael Campbell's musical career began at an early age; his first group was formed when he was 14 so he and his friends could be in their Junior High School's annual talent show. About a year later the band, New Experience, went on to the semi-finals in a CBS Records talent competition held at the Billie Holiday Theater in Brooklyn. Still in High School, Campbell began his studio career as an apprentice at A-1 Recording Studios in New York City. Diligently working as an assistant engineer on sessions with the likes of Bernard Purdy, Lloyd Price, Otis Blackwell, and Roy Ayres provided essential training and equipped Campbell with an arsenal of studio knowledge. Responsible for scores of releases during the disco era, Michael formed a new band, High Voltage, which became one of the most popular back up bands for artists during that strobe-lit decade. This is the period in the spotlight (or strobe light perhaps) on Michael Campbell's Best of P&P Records. Whether it was his work as a performer with High Voltage, like the legendary 'Rock, Spank, Freak', or his production for P&P artists, such as Wayne Ford's 'Dance To The Beat Freakout,' (the instrumental version is included here) Campbell's talent isn't as a performer or producer - it's as a performer and producer. With one listen we're sure you'll agree that the disco-era, and certainly P&P Records, would never have been the same without the incredible talents of Michael Campbell."

"In 1974 Patrick Adams teamed up with Peter Brown to form P&P Records. The label was distributed by Morris Levy's Roulette Records and housed the sub-labels Queen Constance, Heavenly Star, Jay Star, Chocolate Star Records and many more. He also started PAPMUS, his own production company. During the next four years, as disco was emerging, Adams became a key figure in its growth scoring countless hits including: 'Atmosphere Strut' with Cloud One, Marta Acuna's 'Dance, Dance, Dance' and The Golden Flamingo Orchestra's 'The Guardian Angel is Watching Over Us.'"

2007 release. "Producer, arranger, instrumentalist, and label owner Greg Carmichael ran with the prominent members of the underground disco/boogie brigade like Patrick Adams and LeRoy Burgess, but he remains one of the lesser recognized figures from the scene. Despite this, he was every bit a key behind-the-scenes member of the dance music world and deserves the recognition accorded to those he worked with. Carmichael, along with Adams, was behind Universal Robot Band, Inner Life, Phreek, and Bumblebee Unlimited. Each of these outfits delivered a handful of club classics that endure as house-DJ favorites decades after their original release ('Dance and Shake Your Tamborine,' 'Barely Breaking Even,' 'Weekend,' 'Love Bug,' 'Moment of My Life,' and 'I'm Caught Up' being amongst the most popular). A number of Bumblebee Unlimited singles were released through Carmichael's Red Greg label, and Inner Life's 'I'm Caught Up (In a One Night Love Affair)' was originally issued on his TCT label before Prelude purchased the rights and catapulted it to the top of many club playlists. Carmichael also worked closely with Burgess for the Convertion ('Let's Do It') and Logg ('I Know You Will,' 'Dancing Into the Stars') projects, which also yielded some cream-of-the-crop disco/boogie. The only time Carmichael truly tasted the mainstream was when Cathy Dennis' 'Touch Me (All Night Long),' a cover of a Fonda Rae tune written with Adams, blitzed the pop charts in 1991. By then, he was all but completely removed from the music industry. Peter Brown and Traffic Entertainment are proud to present this rare collective of the work of Greg Carmichael and his label, Red Gregg Records."

Repro-reissue of this underground disco album from 1976, in standard muffled pressing. "The studio-bound disco unit Cloud One made its debut with the spectacular 'Atmosphere Strut', a drifting, blissed-out nugget of underground disco that featured a repeated female vocal refrain of 'We're gonna fly/Fly away.' More importantly, what made the song stand out from everything else released at the time was the wild synthesizer line from producer and arranger Patrick Adams, who -- as with dozens of other short-lived disco acts shamelessly chucked into obscurity -- helmed the group. The nine-minute single was also the inaugural release on P&P, the first of several small labels run by Adams and partner Peter Brown. Several Cloud One singles followed throughout the late '70s on P&P-affiliated labels, such as Queen Constance, Golden Flamingo, Heavenly Star, and Sound of New York. The Atmosphere Strut LP, released in 1976, compiled some of the group's 12" material (the LP included a seven-minute edit of the dizzying 'Disco Juice,' another Adams classic)." -- Andy Kellman.
